Weekly Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman #40, Shade: The Changing Girl/Wonder Woman #1

Yes, it’s Weekly Wonder Woman – keeping you up to date on pretty much anything involving DC Comics’ premier superheroine, including whether she likes milk

With Justice League about to come out on DVD, Blu-Ray et al, don’t be too surprised that the InterWeb™ has been flooded with clips, deleted scenes, featurettes and the like designed to promote the release. Here’s one going behind the scenes of Wonder Woman’s early rescue scene:

But also of interest is this one showing Superman’s deleted black costume:

And these of the mid- and post-credit scenes:

But maybe you just prefer images like this, of which I’m sure there are plenty on the DVD, too:

TV news

Etta Candy – aka Lucy Davis – has just signed up for Netflix’s new Sabrina the Teenage Witch series to play Aunt Hilda. If you don’t remember the original series, this was Aunt Hilda.

Comics news

Just in case you were wondering how well Wonder Woman was doing, January 2018’s chart reveals Wonder Woman #39 was the 48th most sought-after title. Which ain’t awful, I guess. But it’s not great.

Comics reviews

I spotted two issues out this week featuring our Diana. Somewhat unsurprisingly, the first is Wonder Woman #40, in which our Diana finishes playing with the Silver Swan and discovers if her brother survived the attack.

Somewhat more surprisingly, the second is a crossover with Shade: The Changing Girl as part of the ‘Milk Wars’ storyline. Don’t ask. You’ll be wanting to know about the nature of sanity and Aztec sacrifices next…

Just two acquisitions this week. The first is Tabula Rasa (Belgium: VRT), which has been picked up by Channel 4/Walter Presents and will air in the summer, but there’s no specific date yet.

Also picked up this week is:

The Looming Tower (US: Hulu; UK: Amazon)
Premiere date: Thursday, March 1

What have you been watching? Including High Maintenance and Star Trek: Discovery

It’s “What have you been watching?”, your chance to recommend anything you’ve been watching this week

For once, I actually managed to watch and review all the TV I promised to watch and review last week. Well done me. True, Boxset Monday ended up as Boxset Tuesday, but that’s largely because Squinters turned out not to be Boxset Monday-worthy material.

Elsewhere, you’ll find reviews of:

Later in the week, I’ll be dealing with HBO’s Here and Now, as well as anything else that pops up despite the Winter Olympics. But today, there’s the latest episodes of the current roster of regulars: Baron Noir, Black Lightning, Corporate, Counterpart and The Magicians. Star Trek: Discovery‘s season finale has aired, too, but taking its place in the viewing queue is the returning DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Lastly, it turned out that High Maintenance returned a few weeks ago without my noticing, so I’ve been playing catch-up with that.
